Joseph Fenton & Sons Sheffield
Just picked up this pearl Joseph Fenton & Sons coffin lobster direct from Sheffield. Appears to be unused, and was likely made in the 1920s or 30s. Closed length is 3 1/8”. Any other Fentons out there??

What a beautifully crafted knife!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

That's a stunner of a knife in a great unique lobster pattern ...Sheffieldguy wrote:Just picked up this pearl Joseph Fenton & Sons coffin lobster direct from Sheffield. Appears to be unused, and was likely made in the 1920s or 30s. Closed length is 3 1/8”. Any other Fentons out there??
Since you were asking - Here's a Thomas Fenton Boys knife and box - not Joseph but he was one of the sons who made knives in 1880s -

Thanks for the comment Lee! Wow, that Thomas Fenton looks in great condition for it’s age! And to have the box too is extra special! Are the scales horn?

Thanks very much ... I believe the handles are cocobolo ...Sheffieldguy wrote:Thanks for the comment Lee! Wow, that Thomas Fenton looks in great condition for it’s age! And to have the box too is extra special! Are the scales horn?
